Analysis of Tospovirus NSs Proteins in Suppression of Systemic Silencing
RNA silencing is a sequence-specific gene regulation mechanism that in plants also acts antiviral. In order to counteract antiviral RNA silencing, viruses have evolved RNA silencing suppressors (RSS). In the case of tospoviruses, the non-structural NSs protein has been identified as the RSS. Although the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) tospovirus NSs protein has been shown to exhibit affinity ...
متن کاملViral RNA Silencing Suppression: The Enigma of Bunyavirus NSs Proteins
The Bunyaviridae is a family of arboviruses including both plant- and vertebrate-infecting representatives. The Tospovirus genus accommodates plant-infecting bunyaviruses, which not only replicate in their plant host, but also in their insect thrips vector during persistent propagative transmission. For this reason, they are generally assumed to encounter antiviral RNA silencing in plants and i...
متن کاملIdentification and RNA binding characterization of plant virus RNA silencing suppressor proteins.
Suppression is a common mechanism employed by viruses to evade the antiviral effects of the host's RNA silencing pathway. The activity of suppression has commonly been localized to gene products in the virus, but the variety of mechanisms used in suppression by these viral proteins spans nearly the complete biochemical pathway of RNA silencing in the host. This review describes the agrofiltrati...
متن کاملSize Selective Recognition of siRNA by an RNA Silencing Suppressor
RNA silencing in plants likely exists as a defense mechanism against molecular parasites such as RNA viruses, retrotransposons, and transgenes. As a result, many plant viruses have adapted mechanisms to evade and suppress gene silencing. Tombusviruses express a 19 kDa protein (p19), which has been shown to suppress RNA silencing in vivo and bind silencing-generated and synthetic small interferi...
متن کاملIndependent parallel functions of p19 plant viral suppressor of RNA silencing required for effective suppressor activity
Plant viruses ubiquitously mediate the induction of miR168 trough the activities of viral suppressors of RNA silencing (VSRs) controlling the accumulation of ARGONAUTE1 (AGO1), one of the main components of RNA silencing based host defence system. Here we used a mutant Tombusvirus p19 VSR (p19-3M) disabled in its main suppressor function, small interfering RNA (siRNA) binding, to investigate th...
